IVF Clinic – Boston Place

Art Contact developed an art program which incorporated a diverse range of original artwork to complement the decoration and to support the work carried out in the clinic.  A diptych was commissioned for a wall recess within the main communal waiting area.

The other artworks, constructed from natural materials and pigment are wonderfully striking and tactile in their simplicity, evoking a wide range of inferences relative to the work of the clinic.

Further works included colourful prints and soft flora and fauna to encourage a relaxed, holistic environment.

London Bridge Hospital

The brief from the client was to create an interesting vision for patients and staff with no view but an empty grey space without natural light. Virginia Grub from Art Contact set about sourcing the right artist to create an artificial garden set in the atrium by using dichoric etched components to create what we know as ‘The Light Garden’.

The Light Garden was formed and created by using 62 dichroic acrylic sandblasted discs to create floral designs with 48 fins placed along the face of the building which reflects from the mirrored wall opposite. This created an explosion of colours when the natural sunlight streams into the atrium from the south facing windows, as the light passes through and reflects off the glass it is transformed and takes on a journey around the space with flashes of rainbow of colours.

Private Client: Sumo’s

Sale of Sculptures by Pierre Diamantopoulo to a Private Residence

In preparation for ‘Chiri-chozu,’ the Sumo has been captured in a snapshot moment before his hands collide to initiate the fight. In this moment, the braiding on his ‘Mawashi’ are flung into the air as he squats into position, and his expression captures a calm and steady composure before the fight begins.

Once ‘Shiko’ has taken place, the fight can begin. Captured in bronze the opposing Sumo is in a position of balance and strength. The sculptor masterfully bends the rules of physics and gives a playful nod to gravity, as the Sumo’s body weight is thrown across to the side. The attention to muscular detail both on and below the surface of the sculpture demonstrate the sculptor’s masterful grasp of his medium.

Portland Hospital – 215, 216 and ITU

The artwork is consistent with the themes previously created by the artist for use in the children’s areas of the Portland Hospital. The theme employs block colour children playing against a parkland backdrop of Regents Park. This imagery has now been developed for printing directly onto a white ROC substrait which forms the walls in the new units at 215 Portland Street.

Sections of the large scale murals have been cropped and printed onto acrylic or forex panels for corridor spaces and consulting rooms.

For the Gynaecology ward, a band of light theme was introduced taking flora and fauna imagery and inserting a contrasting band of colour horizontally or vertically across the artwork.

Inpex Corporation

Art Contact commissioned artwork to represent coral and geological patterns. Through the use of actual geological materials including pebble and sand solution, the artwork explores the natural patterns and organic ordering in our environment.

While, in the reception a large four panel Perspex artwork brings together imagery from Inpex project sites and oil rigs against a cityscape backdrop with architecture taken from four main locations worldwide where Inpex have offices. The second panel acknowledges the Japanese origins of the company, using complimentary images from London and Japan, of traditional architecture and sculpture against a backdrop of Mount Fuji and the cherry tree. The colours were considered to enhance and complement the existing design features.

For Inpex, the commissioned work lends a subtle reference to the corporation, who are continually developing and exploring oil and natural gas resources worldwide, whilst complementing the elegance of the walnut finishes throughout the office space.

Art Contact suggested re-framing pieces in the Inpex’s existing collection to be re-distributed around the offices. These pieces, which were in storage, have brightened up wall spaces within the general offices including the break out area.

Roche Diagnostics

A collection of contemporary art in which the subjects relate to nature, people and the area local to Burgess Hill.

The redeveloped building was decorated to a very high standard in a contemporary style, with attention to the smallest of details.

A brief was given to Art Contact to include ‘nature, people and the local area’ into the subject manner. These were included but not always in the most literal of senses, encouraging the staff and visitors to think about the works exhibited. Contemporary glassware was also commissioned including an illuminated plinth to light the glass works from beneath.
